try placing all "treats" or things you consider "bad" in the far back of your highest cupboard if you cant toss them out. Not only cant you see them, you wont be able to reach them, and just that may be enough to have you reaching for a low easy can of fruit packed in water instead!!

The list of reasons

When you start out write all the reasons you're doing this and get it laminated. This will then be a constant reminder to you, make several copies and put them where you need them most such as on the fridge, inside food cupboards

MORE INFORMATION:
This ensures that when you're tempted to 'cheat' you'll see why you want to succeed, you have to face your list every time you're tempted, it's a good motivator

Easier access to good foods

If I can't keep these foods out of my cupboards, I keep foods that I don't want to have easy access to (think chips, chocolate, etc) in plastic bags and bury them in the cupboards and back of the refrigerator. I also keep the good foods I want to munch on (veggies, fruit, nuts, etc) in the front of the fridge and cupboard. That way I'm organically creating healthy habits by making it hard to get the bad foods mindlessly.
